Autauga County Students Enjoy 4-H Teen Camp
A few ACS students enjoyed Alabama 4-H’s inaugural Teen Camp at the beautiful Alabama 4-H Center last week, fostering a sense of community using the outdoors. This new camp extends the 4-H’s traditional children’s programming to teens ages 14-18.
“Alabama 4-H camp is more than just a summer escape,” said Molly Gregg, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System’s assistant director for 4-H programs. “It is an experience that cultivates leadership, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for nature and being outdoors. Through hands-on activities and mentorship, participants develop essential life skills, build a foundation for success, and connect with the natural world around them.”
